Whitewater rafting and kayaking in New York is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're
willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a bit of a short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. The Northville stretch of Sand Creek is 3 miles long and is a class III-IV section
of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The beautiful Adirondack Mountains scenery is an added bonus.
